49 game 3DS video reel shown at Nintendo World 2011

While tech companies everywhere are packing up and leaving Las Vegas after CES, Nintendo has just started promoting its latest games and hardware at Nintendo World 2011 in Japan.

Top of the billing has to be the 3DS handheld released next month in Japan and to Western markets in March. Nintendo is clearly not holding anything back as the 49 game 3DS video reel above demonstrates.

While we don’t know specifically which games will be launch titles, we are impressed with how many well-known and popular IPs feature. There’s the usual suspects you expect from Nintendo including a Mario platformer, Zelda adventure, Animal Crossing, and a new entry in the Mario Kart series. Then you have the system sellers from 3rd parties including Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater.

The games I’m excited to see apart from those mentioned already include a new StarFox game and what looks to be a new Pilotwings.
